One day, all the children gathered at one place and a meeting was held. "Who would walk up to the master and ask for more food?"
said one of the children. Finally, the responsibility fell on Lovee's shoulders. Then, it arrived the great evening when Lovee was to perform his role. The other children took their places. The master was in his cook's dress with his two assistants beside the huge pot. The soup was served out.
However, in no time, it was finished. The children looked up at each other and made signal to Lovee.
Lovee rose from his seat, walked up to the master and requested, "Sir, I want a little more, please."
"What ? You want more ? Did you say that ?" shouted the master who was a fat and helthy man. "Yes, Sir", replied Lovee. "I want more soup." This was more than struck it hard on Lovee's head.
